Providence bishop declares 2017 as Marian Year

"It's going to be an important year in the church because it's the 100th anniversary of Mary's apparitions at Fatima and we're going to be celebrating that particular event in the diocese along with the universal church," said Bishop Thomas J. Tobin of Providence.

Catholics in the Diocese of Providence have an additional reason to celebrate the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Jan. 1, as the feast day also marks the beginning of the upcoming Marian Year for the diocese.

“This is an opportunity to renew and to refresh our devotion to Mary that we have as Catholics,” said Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, who well celebrate Mass at the Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul on the feast, which is a holy day of obligation.

“We need her example of all her virtues and we need her prayers,” he told the Rhode Island Catholic, the diocesan newspaper.

“Catholics for generations have turned to Mary for assistance and inspiration and we need to do that again because of our troubled world and our nation and our community and our church.”

In October, Tobin announced that the 2017 calendar year would be celebrated as a Marian Year in the Diocese of Providence following the close of the Year of Mercy in November.

Like the Year of Mercy, the Marian Year will provide special opportunities for Catholics in the diocese to increase their devotion to a particular aspect of the Catholic faith.

“It’s going to be an important year in the church because it’s the 100th anniversary of Mary’s apparitions at Fatima and we’re going to be celebrating that particular event in the diocese along with the universal church,” said Tobin.

“But it just seemed to me that we could build on that and turn the whole year into a special time for Mary. It’s such a beautiful and important part of our Catholic faith and devotion that sometimes we forget about and overlook.”

The anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima will feature prominently in the diocesan celebrations of the Marian Year. Father Jeremy Rodrigues, director of the Office for Divine Worship, will lead a pilgrimage to the Portuguese town in August accompanied by Tobin and parishioners from the diocese.

There, pilgrims will visit the site where Mary first appeared to three shepherd children as a lady clothed in brilliant white.

“I think it’s good that the bishop has taken the opportunity to call this year in light of the miraculous events of Fatima in Portugal,” said Rodrigues. “It’s rather timely for us, I think, and very providential.”

The first apparition to the children of Fatima occurred on May 13, 1917, several years after the start of World War I. Among other intentions, the lady asked the children to pray for world peace, a request that continues to weigh heavily on a world that can at times seem rent with war and divisions in the political sphere.

“We can certainly talk about Mary in many different aspects and many different ways, but this year, in particular, I think more than ever our world is so divisive,” said Rodrigues.

“Everyone has sort of polarized themselves in so many different areas. And the Blessed Mother is a perfect example of tremendous balance for our life.”

In addition to the requests of Our Lady of Fatima, Tobin has provided monthly prayer intentions to coincide with the liturgical schedule of the Marian Year.

The first intention, an increase in respect for life, especially for unborn children, places before Mary an issue close to her role as mother while supporting the efforts of pro-life advocates as they observe the 44th anniversary of Roe v. Wade Jan. 22.

“I think that a lot of single moms or women who are pregnant and found in some difficult circumstances can find in Mary a great deal of inspiration and strength,” said Tobin.

“If they share in Mary’s faith and Mary’s trust, then even the most difficult of pregnancies can be a life-giving experience as it was for Mary and as it was for the world.”

The diocesan Office of Life and Family Ministry has organized several opportunities for Catholics around the diocese to support Respect Life efforts during the month of January while also increasing their devotion to Mary for the Marian Year.

Between Jan. 6 and Jan. 30, the Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe will visit parishes throughout the Diocese of Providence, with various presentations, holy hours and venerations occurring during that time.

Carol Owens, coordinator of Life and Family Ministry, invites all to participate and to pray in a particular way for a greater respect for life.

“People are more in tune with what’s happening and gravitating toward any opportunity to pray to Mary,” she said. “She is the patroness of the Americas. She’s everybody’s lady.”

The office also will coordinate the annual Respect Life Mass at St. Paul Church in Cranston Jan. 21, and the annual bus trip to the March for Life in Washington Jan. 27.

Owens stressed that these events call upon Catholics and our nation’s leaders to protect not only the unborn, but all those who suffer from a lack of respect for human life.

“It’s not only the baby in the womb, it’s also the person on the street who’s homeless and hungry and the person at the end of life,” she said.

Owens advised all to continue praying the rosary. Prayer, especially for Mary’s intercession, is an essential component of the church’s efforts to promote greater respect for life, she added.

“The greatest tool we have is praying the rosary and praying it every day,” said Owens. “I’ve had remarkable things happen. I believe Our Lady is at work.”

Archbishop Lefebvre

“This Second Vatican Council Reform, since it has issued from Liberalism and from Modernism, is entirely corrupt; it comes from heresy and results in heresy, even if all its acts are not formally heretical. It is thus impossible for any faithful Catholic who is aware of these things to adopt this Reform, or to submit to it in any way at all. To ensure our salvation, the only attitude of fidelity to the Church and to Catholic doctrine, is a categorical refusal to accept the Reform.”

“And we have the precise conviction that this new rite of Mass expresses a new faith, a faith which is not ours, a faith which is not the Catholic Faith. This New Mass is a symbol, is an expression, is an image of a new faith, of a Modernist faith. ….Now it is evident that the new rite, if I may say so, supposes another conception of the Catholic religion-another religion.”

Archbishop Lefebvre

That Conciliar Church is a schismatic Church, because it breaks with the Catholic Church that has always been. It has its new dogmas, its new priesthood, its new institutions, its new worship, all already condemned by the Church in many a document, official and definitive.... The Church that affirms such errors is at once schismatic and heretical. This Conciliar Church is, therefore, not Catholic. To whatever extent Pope, Bishops, priests, or faithful adhere to this new Church, they separate themselves from the Catholic Church...

“Well, we are not of this religion. We do not accept this new religion. We are of the religion of all time; we are of the Catholic religion. We are not of this 'universal religion' as they call it today-this is not the Catholic religion any more. We are not of this Liberal, Modernist religion which has its own worship, its own priests, its own faith, its own catechisms, its own Bible, the 'ecumenical Bible'-these things we do not accept."

The Real 3rd Secret of Fatima

Inlcudes Vatican II and the soon Apostate Church..."...because Fatima is a very apocalyptic message. It says that no matter what happens there are going to be terrible wars, there are going to be diseases, whole nations are going to be wiped out, there are going to be 3 days darkness, there are going to be epidemics that will wipe out whole nations overnight, parts of the earth will be washed away at sea and violent tornadoes and storms. It's not a nice message at all." Fr Malachi Martin

Pope XII: “Suicide Of Altering the Faith In Her Liturgy…..”

"I am worried by the Blessed Virgin's messages to Lucy of Fatima. This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology and Her soul. … I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, reject Her ornaments and make Her feel remorse for Her historical past."A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them. Like Mary Magdalene, weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, 'Where have they taken Him?'"

St. Bernard:

Go forth confidently then, you knights, and repel the foes of the cross of Christ with a stalwart heart. Know that neither death nor life can separate you from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ, and in every peril repeat, "Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's." What a glory to return in victory from such a battle! How blessed to die there as a martyr! Rejoice, brave athlete, if you live and conquer in the Lord; but glory and exult even more if you die and join your Lord. Life indeed is a fruitful thing and victory is glorious, but a holy death is more important than either. If they are blessed who die in the Lord, how much more are they who die for the Lord!

How secure, I say, is life when death is anticipated without fear; or rather when it is desired with feeling and embraced with reverence! How holy and secure this knighthood and how entirely free of the double risk run by those men who fight not for Christ! Whenever you go forth, O worldly warrior, you must fear lest the bodily death of your foe should mean your own spiritual death, or lest perhaps your body and soul together should be slain by him.

Indeed, danger or victory for a Christian depends on the dispositions of his heart and not on the fortunes of war. If he fights for a good reason, the issue of his fight can never be evil; and likewise the results can never be considered good if the reason were evil and the intentions perverse. If you happen to be killed while you are seeking only to kill another, you die a murderer. If you succeed, and by your will to overcome and to conquer you perchance kill a man, you live a murderer. Now it will not do to be a murderer, living or dead, victorious or vanquished. What an unhappy victory--to have conquered a man while yielding to vice, and to indulge in an empty glory at his fall when wrath and pride have gotten the better of you!

But what of those who kill neither in the heat of revenge nor in the swelling of pride, but simply in order to save themselves? Even this sort of victory I would not call good, since bodily death is really a lesser evil than spiritual death. The soul need not die when the body does. No, it is the soul which sins that shall die.

The knight of Christ, I say, may strike with confidence and die yet more confidently, for he serves Christ when he strikes, and serves himself when he falls. Neither does he bear the sword in vain, for he is God's minister, for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good. If he kills an evildoer, he is not a mankiller, but, if I may so put it, a killer of evil. He is evidently the avenger of Christ towards evildoers and he is rightly considered a defender of Christians. Should he be killed himself, we know that he has not perished, but has come safely into port.

Once he finds himself in the thick of battle, this knight sets aside his previous gentleness, as if to say, "Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord; am I not disgusted with your enemies?" These men at once fall violently upon the foe, regarding them as so many sheep. No matter how outnumbered they are, they never regard these as fierce barbarians or as awe-inspiring hordes. Nor do they presume on their own strength, but trust in the Lord of armies to grant them the victory.

Saint Athanasius

"May God console you! ... What saddens you ... is the fact that others have occupied the churches by violence, while during this time you are on the outside. It is a fact that they have the premises – but you have the Apostolic Faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true Faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the Faith dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place or the Faith?The true Faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in the struggle – the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the Faith? True, the premises are good when the Apostolic Faith is preached there; they are holy if everything takes place there in a holy way ..."You are the ones who are happy; you who remain within the Church by your Faith, who hold firmly to the foundations of the Faith which has come down to you from Apostolic Tradition. And if an execrable jealousy has tried to shake it on a number of occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who have broken away from it in the present crisis. No one, ever, will prevail against your Faith, beloved Brothers. And we believe that God will give us our churches back some day. "Thus, the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the more they separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church; but in reality, they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and going astray. Even if Catholics faithful to Tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ."
